603 C Street
Tudor Colonial Revival, 1932

This unusual house is sited at an angle on its large corner lot. A Central rectangular block connects two cross-gabled wings on either side. A prominent gable roofed porch is set at an angle to the intersection of the south gable wing and the central block of the house. The roof is moderately pitched, with slight gable overhangs finished with a facia and a decorative attic vent. Eaves are also short, with exposed rafter tails. Front fenestration consists of cottage style windows, with a broad, central fixed panel and narrow sidelights. These cottage windows also occur ion the north cross wings rear gable wall and on the eave wall of the south cross wing. both of these "rear" facades are exposed to 5th Street where they are connected by a long screened-in, shed roof porch that backs on the central block. other fenestration consists of paired casements. A brick chimney is located on the south cross wing eave wall. the house is eclectic in style. The projecting porch gable is finished with faux half-timbering frequent on Tudor Revivals, but the porch roof is supported on slim, cylindrical pillars which suggest a Colonial Revival influence. The house is clad with clapboard. . . The house retains its integrity of design, materials, workmanship, setting, feeling and association.
